Unless you live in a place where snow and winter never show their ugly faces, a year-round garden is out of the question. But if your green thumb results in a surplus of herbs during the summer, you can always freeze them in this handy grinder that keeps them fresh and easy to serve during those frozen snowbound months.

When they're fresh from the garden, you just stuff your herbs into this grinder's see-through chamber, which makes them easy to identify. And when they're frozen, a quick turn of the handle grinds them into a delicious garnish. They might be better suited to cold dishes, but presumably a hot plate of pasta should thaw the tiny frozen flakes in no time. [Ippinka via Likecool]
